In the quiet town of Glen Lake, a simmering neighborly feud turns deadly. As the town prepares for its annual Maple Syrup Festival, a bitter property line dispute tied to a generations-old maple syrup business ends in murder-leaving a close-knit community quick to judge and eager to blame. But the women of the Cozy Quilts Club know better than to trust first impressions. As spring unfolds and tensions rise, Eva, Annalise, Jennifer, and Sarah begin to unravel long-held resentments, and a legacy someone was willing to kill to reclaim. With help from familiar local detectives-and guided by instincts others dismiss-the women follow threads no one else sees. Set in the beloved town of Glen Lake, the story delivers gentle suspense, emotional depth, and the enduring strength of friendship-woven together into a mystery where truth matters and justice still counts. If you enjoy small-town cozies with paranormal twists, heartfelt relationships that include a snarky cat, and satisfying resolutions, you'll love Maple Leaf Malice, Book 9 in the Cozy Quilts Club Mystery series.
